Re: Wordsmith |
Hey--just read that...hmmm, not sure of the connection there as I have not voiced a view one way or the tother vis a vis the debacle in the middle east...I would venture to say in answer to your question that I am not sure they would be interested in listening to DS, though I am of the opinion that it would be great if they would have because it would suggest to me that they would have the financial wherewithall to afford a simple CD player or radio or whathaveyou, and with that in hand, they would be, I think, less inclined to partake of more desperate measures.
Conjecture, but there you have it.

Re: Wordsmith |
Hey ducats - no, I'm no PhD - just a writer by trade. I'm not up to speed on the letters, which is why I asked.

Re: Wordsmith |
Heyzeus Christie--another Lit. Ph.D. Got mine in 1988. I use it now and then to get good restaurant reservations.
Disserted on William Carlos Williams. You? Publishing or perishing?

Re: Wordsmith |
actually, i really only mentioned mine to make people shake their heads in disbelief since my posts are always so poorly written :)
never published - just got mine for poops and giggles to be honest - i enjoyed it. i work in the insurance industry.
dissertation was on Thomas DeQuincey
(nice choice of WCW for yours - haven't read him since my Master's years - gotta pull out some of his poetry now that you mentioned him - been many moons)

Re: Wordsmith |
So do I have to call you Dr Dire?
I follow in the noble tradition of Caledonian autodidactism myself (and no, it doesn't make you go blind...)
